[nagdu] Adjustment from working with a king to a dog

[Elisabeth Clark]

Hi guys,
I haven't got a dog yet, but have done several walks with a few 
dogs through three different schools and am looking at getting a 
dog.

One thing I don't understand is the fact that I feel most 
confident with my cane vs the confidence I have while walking 
with a guidedog.  I feel that my cane gives me more feedback on 
my surroundings and I can sense the unevenness of the ground 
better than what I can with a guidedog.  I also know they try to 
pull you around obsticals, but I'm not good with following a dog.  
With my cane, I can use the tapping technique and echo location 
to get around obsticals and find that much easier.  Did any of 
you experience the same problem?

Cheers, Liz.
